We successfully held our first cattle sale in our new facilities. For the most part, things went very well. Naturally we found a few things we can improve on and we have three weeks to change a few more things. We sold 1487 animals for $1,798.094.20. It was a pretty […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Last week was a whirlwind! We were working hard to complete multiple tasks before the Minister’s visit on Thursday. I finally gave up on the fact that getting things all trimmed, mowed and beautiful wasn’t going to happen. In fact, it is the end of the year and the place […]
Last week was a complete blur. I had high hopes of getting all caught back up at the Research Station, but I had many interruptions and things added to an already long list. I was able to work late on Friday and came in with my mom on Sunday. A […]
The September long weekend is already long gone! Many helpful volunteers spent their long weekend at the Sales Barn working hard to try and get the project ready for our sale week. I will be honest, it is going to be tight. Things have really started to come together but […]
The end of August! August is such a fast month for me, and I dread it as I end of missing some days at the Station, the students leave and it is a mad scramble to get plots harvested, seed cleaned, and winter crops planted. We had enough rain that […]
All it took was the Emo Fair to get some much-needed rain. We ended up with ¾” at home and a bit more at the Research Station. I am hearing reports of over 2” in the Rainy River area and that is great. It is nice to see a few […]
Emo Fair week has arrived. Though it might not be exactly like normal it has arrived. I still have big plans of at least making some entries for the exhibit hall. Marlee stayed out last night so she could work on some of her art and picture entries. We thought […]
Well, I am feeling a tad bit overwhelmed today. There is plenty going on, not just for me but for many others. We are dealing with a severe drought and we are losing cow herd numbers daily. We have started to see hay come into the district, but this is […]
August has arrived. The time of year when we often see some hot, dry days. This year we have only seen hot, dry days. The rain even appears on a radar that it is heading our way and it still manage to dissipate or go around us. We ended up […]
I think I want to share what seems to be like the “perfect storm”, though we can’t seem to get a storm this year. Or at least not where we need it.The spring started off fairly early with cooler but drier conditions. Many farmers were on the land and crops […]
Well I must fit about two weeks worth of meetings into the first three days of this week. I am already going into this week feeling tired. I am hoping that something will come out of all the talk and we will have help in finding feed for our cattle. […]
Here we are, near the middle of July and still looking for rain. Conditions continue to worsen and if my weather app is correct there is no significant rain in the forecast. I know I have told you before that I have a few things that normally trigger rain: washing […]
